I bought a new Kabota WITH A CAB today (L3560HSTC) Likely will get it in another week or ten days. The dealer has to add some hydraulic valves and fluid in the tires and put the loader on - yadda yadda. Should be a pretty nice tractor for my needs and hopefully will last me a long time. I have gotten tired of the dust and bugs and this should go a long way toward finding some good comfort in my tracturing days. My old John Deere brought a pretty fair trade price IMO......so I'm glad to move up a bit in size and STABILITY. OK, what was the deciding factor on your choice of brand? Better dealer, features, willingness to deal? Both are good brands but green is typically more expensive.

^. This was a bit of my dilemma with this tractor: It's a bit wider than the JD models of the same HP so it is better with six foot wide implements than fives. I own allot of five foot stuff. I'm gonna see how this works with my tiller and my rotary cutter. I think I will get along pretty good with them.....but may upgrade a few implements over time. I have allot of implements, most of which I am not too heavily invested in. My implements include a JD planter, Disk, Filed cultivator, Landscape rake, tiller, tiller, fertilzer spreader, post hole digger, stump grinder, ripper, box blade, ballast box, rotary cutter (2), bucket, Grapple, Lime spreader, forks, and maybe something I have forgotten about. . A tractor without implements is useless. .

A tractor without implements is useless. . The tractors are similar priced. But the Kubota has so many neat auto throttle features and load sensing abilities....that I think will prove quite useful. Then too the front Axel is so much more heavy duty, bigger tires, more weight, better and bigger cab with many more features (lights, mirrors, operating glass, room, etc etc), better lifting capacities with the three point and the loader. Its more "farm' and less "lawn". Stuff is better protected on the underside. Easier to put fuel in....and holds more fuel (something to think about when you get older). It's a bit wider.....so it will be more stability on side hills. Plenty of power for my needs. Telescoping drag links - not common on a category 1 tractor. ----the list goes on. I think Kubota has Deere's R series beat in this department with the Grand L tractors.

^ Very nice, a cab will be a great addition and help you spend more time behind the wheel.
Let's face it the elements catch up with you after awhile.

If I brought home a tractor like that, the Barracuda would have all new furniture in the house, a new wardrobe and probably a brand new car for herself before I got one implement hooked up! No Fucking way am I buying a tractor that nice!
